The incident made headlines after King was suspended from the U.S. Military Academy as a result of what happened. He was later reinstated at the school. Authorities originally considered King, who was belligerent after the incident and could not remember what happened, was the aggressor but no one in LaBelle's camp wanted to press charges.

After King's family saw the video months later, Holmes was charged with assault.

King has sued LaBelle and Holmes for more than $1 million in a civil court for assault.
